22 Lessons Learned: Cups

Women basically have problems especially when it comes to controlling the menstrual fluid produced on a monthly basis. At times, the fluid is heavy and is not completely absorbed by a pad or a tampon. Now you do not have to go through this challenge anymore thanks to the invention of menstrual cups. A menstrual cup is a gadget that is used to hold the menstrual fluid during menstruation. This article highlights the advantages and usage of a menstrual cup

To get to properly use the menstrual cup, you start by first folding and pinching it then you get to insert it when you have a flow. If you got to properly fold and pinch the menstrual cup, it will easy align itself in the passage walls. This cup will get to create a seal around the passage walls. To ensure that the menstrual cup is properly fit, you may consider twisting it gently. A menstrual cup should not be able to cause any leakages or cause the user discomfort if it is properly inserted. If you feel that you need to apply some lubrication during menstrual cup insertion, ensure it is in liquid form. This is due to the fact that no liquid bases lubricants might end up damaging the silicon.

There are many advantages that come with the usage of menstrual cup. First and foremost, a menstrual cup is cost friendly. This is because it can be used for a period of up to five years as opposed to pads and tampons which are used just once. Pads and tampons are only used once and you will have to purchase more unlike a menstrual cup which you will get to use one for up to five years plus. These cups will ensure that you get to use less money as opposed to purchasing pads and tampons.

When you choose to use a menstrual cup, you do not have to worry about the menstrual fluid getting to leak. A pad or a tampon is likely to leak some menstrual fluid as it does not have a seal. This menstrual fluid will end up reaching your clothes and you will end up getting an unpleasant patch. However, a menstrual cup is able to collect all the menstrual fluid and none gets to leak as the cup walls are well sealed to the passage walls.

Using a menstrual cup ensures that you are always comfortable. Sometimes, pads get to cause discomfort, especially when you get to feel that there is heavy menstrual fluid downpour. The use of menstrual cups ensures that such problems become history.

Use of menstrual cups helps to conserve the environment. This is because during menstruation you are likely to use a number of pads and disposing them may not be that easy. This is why disposal of pads is quite hectic.
